System Requirements
MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 10
Processor: i5-4690 (or equivalent)
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: GTX 770 (or equivalent)
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 20 GB available space
 
<shrug> May as well. W7 only gets updates for another year and W8 is icky.

Still, of all the games to require DX12, I wouldn't expect Xenonauts 2.

The greatest surprise is possibly the requirement for Windows 10 and the DirectX 12 library. The information suggests that we're dealing with a game that's only compatible with the latest graphical API from Microsoft. Is this limitation of the potential customer base going to impact the sales? Let's not here that the demo of the game, made available in 2017 on GOG.com could be launched on other Windows systems, so it's not clear whether this isn't simply an oversight. On the other hand – two years is a lot of time, so if this was indeed the case, it wouldn't be so surprising.

Well, it comes from the Steam page. That's pretty official. It could be a mistake, I suppose?

Yeah, looks like a mistake. GOG's page says Win7/8/10 and that's way more plausible than a low graphics game requiring DX12.
